AND a gamepad!

Yeah, nice idea, but I dunno' about that.  Maybe if the bottom part could be detached or something it would be better.

Ha, I was just reading about it!

Interesting idea, I can see it working for mobile players but I don't know how comfortable or functional the controller mode would be.

Plus if I've learned anything from my PSP it's that a drag-pad is not substitute for an analogue stick.

Also, why are the buttons backwards (SNES style)?

   X
Y    A
   B

Instead of the standard (X360, Dreamcast):

   Y
X    B
   A

Interesting idea but I would just prefer to have a separate gamepad instead.

Yeah, come on.  Kind of retarded.  Although, it did remind me of the Playstation Android phone for some reason.
